Alina+-+Parker

Hi my name is Parker Smith I live in Colorado and I am 15 years old, my favorite things to do are hanging with my friends, snowboarding, and also playing lacrosse, and I go to Arapahoe High School, and I am a Sophmore at Arapahoe. In my family I have a mom named Sue, a dad named Bill, a younger brother named Ryan, and two dogs named Buck and Riley. When i was almost 4 years old my brother had gotten a slip and slide for his birthday, which is a like a silicone slide that you lay on grass and then when you get it wet it's really slippery and then you run and you slide on it, and when we set it up in our backyard we had a hill at my old house and we set it up so it went down the hill. My brother went first and when he first tried it he slid off the side and got grass burn, but he was having so much fun and he got up and did it again and when he was going the second time he actually made it all the way down to the end. When it was my first time going I ran at it and slid head first an by this time the grass at the bottom of the slip and slide was all wet and i slide all the way off of it and i just kept going to the end of my yard and then I hit the fence with my head and then that was my first experience with real pain, my first ride to the emergency room and my first time with stitches.

This is my favorite Lacrosse Player; This is a picture of burton snowboarding my favorite snowboarding company Paul Rabil  r: #000**000;">** Dec14th,2008 hello,i am so sorry to reply to you after so long a time.My chinese name is Zhangying,a very normal one.It once bothered me so much since there would be four or five the same name just in my school and it would never make others remeber me for just one time.Sometimes,i really want to change my name if it would not hurt my parents or i am a disgraceful girl.But now i am have a english name,my oral english teacher gave it to me,Alina.what does it mean?i totally have no idea.And my classmates give me a neckname,it changes from highschool to college,but none of them is suit for me,i think.they don't understand me,they just use it for fun and i am sometimes so sad that they may forget my real name. There are four people in my family.I have a sister who is two years older than me,but we have atotally different characters.i am patient,forgivable but she is unpatient and easy out of temper;i am shy,introvert and lack of life experience while she is a good communition, outgoing and mature.Sometimes she just like a boy,adventurous and fond of taking some machines apart and then assembling them.She once backed me,running but the consequence is that we both fell into the ditch,totally wet;we learnt to ride but she acquire it so quikely while i scratched myself,crying--yeah,i was always crying when i was young,but she was always brave enough.though we have little in common and always qurral or even fight,we keeps a sistership.i never think she is not better than a brother! Now in college,i'm so eager to become mature,but it sames hard for me.everyone think i'm naive,so i will keep trying.The worst thing that happens to me is that some of my classmates always imitate my accent.I try hard to change but it's just in vain,now i'm more tense to speak.Every time i want to say a word,a chinese word or a english one,i have to think twice.It's such a disaster. Do you like animation?i am absorbing to it,i am a fan.the styles ,topics are so diversiform and the scenes and skills are so charming! I am fond of sports too,but sports between your country and mine are just so different.i am fond of long-distance running,rope skipping,basketball though i am not tall,but the one i'm most interest is our nation sport ,table-tennis(pingpong).DO you american guys have any interests in **it? **

It's interesting to hear how you and your sister get along and it's interesting to hear how you are, and trust me it's a better to have a sister rather than a brother. It doesn't matter if you have an accent it's just another part of making you different than everyone else, and it's no fun trying to be like other people, it's more fun to stick out of the crowd then to blend in and don't flow with the river go up stream. Some of the animation is good I haven't seen it to much but a lot of it has some interesting and good story plots. Most of the guys in America love to do a lot of sports and when it comes to table tennis everybody that I know loves to play table tennis, it's awesome. Over the holiday break I'm am going to going up to the mountains and going to go snowboarding and i am spending time with my family, and then after that I am going to the X Games which is a competition between the best snowboarders and skiers in many events and there are also many other events that go on during this time, but it's going to be really fun. What are you doing over the break?

Dec 21st, oh,you are such a gentle boy.it seems that there are seldom any boys are as considerate as you are around me.and i think that's why i seldom make friends with boys,and you ---maybe an exception. i have just watched a movie about Christmas.it mainly tells a group of younth who will spend their Christmas holidays themselves or with one of their divorced parents,but because of a heavy storm they're held back in the airport and then a series of events happens.the spots are full of funny,the whole story is moving,which,sorts of, will touch the deep bottom of many parents'hearts.it's really wonderfull and i'm really fond of it!Christmas is on the way,how would you spend it?And can you still get presents from the santa claus?i'm so admire of american children.you can always get your dreamt gifts on that day and the way(i read it on the book or on TV) you get your gifts are always full of mestery and surprise!we also celebrate Christmas,but besides sometimes eating big meass,decorating our rooms and making wishes that seldom comes true,there are nothing special.though it seems dull i like it more or less.after all,there are festival atmosphere and we can always have a day make ourselves relaxed.and // MERRY CHRISTMAS // (though a little ahead of time)! your break time activities are so cool,how i wish that i can experience snowboarding or skiing for even just once.but it seems too hard.first there isn't any ski field in my small hometown;second even if there is actully one i can not afford it(in china skiing seems to be a sport that's seldom available to poor families)until i can make money myself.this year our New Year'Day is advanced but the time for winter holiday is still the same,so there's little chance for me to get my train ticket getting home.and the holiday is so short,many days of which i will spend on preparing for the New Year's Day and visiting relativesit's a routine of our traditional festival.and maybe i will spare some time for getting-together with my former classmates,who i haven't seen for a semeter or a year.nowadays,i'm busy with my final examination.and after that i will be totally relaxed for a while!looking forward to your reply!

Jan 14th, It's not convenient for me to connect with you in my winter holiday. i am sorry. i will write to you next semester.
